Great movies take their place in history, but what about all the "turkeys" and disastrous flops littering the vast cinematic cesspool? If you really love movies, then what does it matter if a particular film won eight Oscars or eight Razzies? Sometimes over-the-top hammy acting, laughably choreographed fight sequences and rubber monster FX outdo even the most lavish productions in the Academy Awards echelon. So, whether it's an unsurpassed masterpiece or a piece of something else, every movie I talk about in this podcast is near and dear to my heart. Some you will know well, some you'd be well off never knowing at all, at least until hearing just how enjoyably awful they are, so plug in those earbuds or don your expensive blingy Beats, and let's take a trip to the movies!

Season 9 Episode 9: Solo: A Star Wars Story
By now we've gotten to see all our favorite "classic" Star Wars heroes return to the saga after a decades-long wait, and then they all got snuffed out. Except for Lando, of course...the least "heroic" out of them all...he gets to live! You remember he double-crossed the REAL heroes and was eyeing Princess Leia from the get-go. Grrrrr...it's enough to make you wanna pull someone's arms out of their sockets (like the screenwriters?) but here we have a stand-alone movie about t...

Season 8 Episode 10: Armageddon
Pop quiz: a giant asteroid is hurtling towards Earth and will spell certain doom when it hits! Ignoring the fact that asteroids can't spell, name that movie! Um, is this multiple choice? Kind of...ya see, there were two movies out in 1998 about this imminent threat from some distant space quarry, but I'm going with the bigger, badder, dumber one: Armageddon! Directed (can you call it that?) by Michael Bay! Action and adrenaline aplenty here, along with a hit soun...

Season 9 Episode 8: Heat
In 1995, moviegoers and Godfather geeks were lining up to see Al Pacino and Robert De Niro share the screen for the first time ever in the crime epic Heat. They might not have realized that in the 3 hour running time, they're together for maybe 3 minutes! But OMG... those 3 minutes were riveting! Even the other 2 hours and 57 minutes of it were pretty intense. Crazy shootouts, double-crosses and heists, dysfunctional relationships, and a hopped-up live wire Al Pacino...

Season 6 Episode 8: Between Two Dunes (with Special Guest!)
How many times have they tried bringing that bonkers science fiction epic Dune to the screen? Better question: why do I keep watching all of them? I'm still no closer to understanding what on Arrakis is going on. It's not very likely that this podcast is going to enlighten anyone as to what Frank Herbert was getting at, but that's okay! It's more fun than surfing on a giant worm, I promise. Together with my good friend Dave Chan, we chew the spice and discu...

Season 9 Episode 7: Species
When a stunningly gorgeous woman wants to have sex with you, for FREE, the hour you meet her, that should raise a red flag. Especially if she's really an H.R. Giger-designed alien creature masquerading as Natasha Henstridge. Hey, it happens. This 1995 movie delivers the blood and boobs (human and extraterrestrial, to be precise) and boasts a pretty impressive cast with a thankless assignment chasing this babe all over L.A. trying to stop her from getting pregnant and s...
